Call to divest from gun companies

If you have a 401k, 403b, pension plan, or mutual fund, call the fund administrator to insist they divest from gun companies. If you can change your mutual fund choices yourself, consider opting for one that doesn't invest in guns. Many investment groups offer socially responsible mutual fund options. One power in this country is absolute-- money. Institutional investors, like universities and school districts, are the biggest investors on Wall Street. Remember Apartheid? Divestment contributed to its demise. You have more financial power than you realize. Use it!

1. I'm OK with lawfully owned guns used for lawful purposes

3. your choice

but I fail to understand why you feel a need to insert yourself in a call for activism that, by your own admission, doesn't apply to you. It's one thing to assert a Second Amendment right to own a gun and another to argue for the unfettered profits of a multi-billion dollar industry.

9. Different issue all together.

11. the exactly same issue

Guns kill and create lots of jobs manufacturing tiny coffins.
What did you think happened after 11 bullets pierce the body of a 40 lb child? Did you suppose those little bodies magically disappeared? 38,000 deaths a year in this country due to the gun jobs you care so much about, despite the fact the many of those guns are manufactured abroad. The bodies are American though. As are those of another 75,000 injured from firearms. More preschool children than active duty police die from guns. The jobs you care so much about have real life consequences.

10. yes we know

of your relentless crusade for the corporate gun lobby. You make that clear several times a day. I don't recall asking you to participate, yet you can't pass up a chance to piss all over progressive activism.

You can take heart in the fact that funeral industry is especially active, producing and selling tiny little coffins that fit six year olds.
